This sweeping yet succinct new survey introduces readers to the history of the crusades from the eleventh to the twenty-first century. By synthesizing a variety of historical perspectives, the book deliberately locates crusading in the broader history of the Mediterranean, moving away from approaches focused primarily on narrating the deeds of a small section of the Latin Christian elite to explore the rich and contested complexity of crusade history.
Introduction: What Were the Crusades? -- 1. Connections and Conflicts in the Eleventh-Century Mediterranean -- 2. Constructing the First Crusade: Contexts, Events, and Reactions -- 3. Shifting Ground: Crusading and the Twelfth-Century Mediterranean -- 4. Allies and Adversaries: Crusading Culture and Intra-Christian Crusades -- 5. Changing Circumstances: Crusading in the Thirteenth Century -- 6. Towards Christian Nationalism: Crusading into the Early Modern Period -- Conclusion: Have the Crusades Ended?
